Cigar
shape just hovering there - pinpoint lights alongside
of it enough to show that it was a cigar shape. At the
ends of the cigar-shaped object, there were slightly larger
red lights. It never moved, made noise; it just hung in
there the whole time I watched it. Then suddenly, it just
took off upright toward the sky so fast, but it seemed
like it just disappeared as it zoomed off.

What
was that cigar shaped object?
--------------------------
"It
was a very clear night at about 10:10 p.m. and I was hungry.
I decided to go to an Circle K store which was nearby
where we lived. Without disclosing exactly where I live,
all I can say is that I live nearby a mountain, on the
south side. When I went outside to my car, something attracked
my attention that I thought it was an helicopter hovering
low. We get many helicopter rescues due to people climbing
this mountain, and they either get stuck or fall and injure
themselves. I looked up at this cigar shape just hovering
there, the lights of the object had attracted my attention
and it was hardly moving at all. There were pinpoint lights
alongside of it enough to show that it was a cigar shape.
I watched it for at least ten minutes if not more, trying
to make sense of it, and to make out the exact location
of where it was hovering over. It was hovering North of
the mountain, seemed to be at an height of at least 800
to a thousand feet. I'm not good at distances but it was
close enough for me to rule out that it was not a plane,
helicopter, hot-air balloons and a blimp. We get blimps
flyover during certain times of the year, depending on
the events. We have airliners flying over and the airport
is about 2½ miles south of where I saw this object.
As I watched this object, I observed some of the pinpoint
bright lights sometimes flickering. At the ends of the
cigar-shaped object, there were slightly larger red lights.
It never moved, made noise; it just hung in there the
whole time I watched it. The lights around where I was
did not interfere with my sight since my house lights
were off and the street lights are a distance away. Then
suddenly, at about at least during the ten minutes I was
watching it, it just took off upright toward the sky so
fast, but it seemed like it just disappeared as it zoomed
off. I went to the Circle K and there was a man standing
at the corner of the store, staring at the same area where
I saw this object. I ignored him and went inside the Circle
K store! After I bought some items and came outside, he
was still waiting at the corner, still looking up at the
sky and my car was parked next to him. He was very quiet
and seemed a bit shook up. As I was starting to get into
the car, the man asked me if I had seen anything strange.
I asked him why do you ask me? He said he's familiar with
me since I come to the store often, and assumed I lived
nearby. I asked what does that have to do with my living
nearby. He said 'you had to have seen it, you just gotta
have to seen that thing, it was just there and then it
took off'. I told him, whether if I had seen it or not,
nobody would believe it anyway. I admitted I did see it
but I didn't go into details. I just got into my car and
went home. All that night, I laid outside in my lounger,
watching the sky, wondering if it'd come back which it
didn't. I know what I saw was real but I can't explain
it since of all the airliners, blimps and hot air balloons,
I've never seen anything like it except, last week, I
was watching a TV show and it was about UFO's. I was shocked
to see the portion of the show where the daughter (in
Colorado) goes outside to play and she saw this cigar-shaped
thing in the sky, called for her father, and he had video
taped it. The object I saw was so similiar to that object
seen in Colorado, except it was closer. This is the absolute
truth to what I saw and it's real unless this is some
secret government flying object of some sort."
